I've sort of just been going with whatever I felt suited the situation, but more often than not the "intuitive" dialogue tree ends up saying something completely different from what I expected the option to be. >_> So now I just go Paragon most of the time. Being neutral seems less beneficial than being either paragon or renegade.

There's been a lot of frustration for me with the dialogue tree, but if I stop trying to immerse myself and just take the dialogue as someone else's story instead, it's not so bad. Rest of the game is pretty good, after all. Though, looking forward to making the move to Mass Effect 2 - Been told that it improves a lot of the game's mechanics.

Guildie who, I believe due to frustration with the game ATM, basically got onto an uncharacteristic (and possibly rose-colored glasses) rant about how nothing is 'epic' anymore during an LFR run.

This was made particularly odd for me, since I am still not sure I even understood what they were talking about (first time into stuff is usually pretty cool for me, a few months into the same stuff *nothing* is epic anymore). Then there was some stuff about LFR, taking gear out, and much of the same arguments that were hashed and rehashed, buried, dug up, and used for a firelighter here.

All were pretty much in agreement that LFR's nature kinda sucks something out of the experience (and is likely why Flex is coming to pass), but I still argued that at least for me there had been enjoyable content and that a 'first time' experience can never be recaptured. To me, it seems the question really becomes: when do you decide that this isn't the game you want to play anymore?

for me it is that dam robo-croc...i am always a yard or 2 too short from being far enough away to avoid the last chomp

Nothing epic except the fail? Sorry, I could not resist.

It's a decidedly mixed experience, but I've found tanking LFR is actually the most epic thing I've experienced in WoW lately. Being the solo tank for the last few bosses on ToT (as no second tank can be found in LFR) is good for ones ego. "No tank, don't pull, you are going to DIE". ... "Oh, good job, tank".

My frustration is that my guild can't field 10 raiders anymore. We had a good DPS, but he wanted to raid more and at a higher level, and we can't replace him. I can't wait for virtual realms, although I am not sure it will solve our recruitment problem. Nobody wants to join a guild run for a fresh ToT on a Friday night? It's sad.

This boss is giving us the most headaches this raid, we still haven't been able to kill him

It's not after the eyesore disappears that things start to go to the crapper... with bullshit rng. I am tanking the boss and I get the life drain, or someone else gets the lifedrain and when people are blocking the beam, force of will goes off and people fly off the platform.

Seriously? How far are you guys? I wish there were open slots like that available on my server - my hunter would jump at a chance like that if a group could get as far as Tortos.

I simply can't find any groups for him. My shaman's group (I was the designated "PuG Healer") beat Council (after about 6 weeks of working on Horridon), and then the Blizzard Sale came up and 3/4ths of them transferred off-server. Just got in with a different group last week (again as the "PuG Healer"), and they just beat (amazingly) Council for the first time. Not sure I can keep going with them, one of their nights is the same as my guild's normal raid night (but we have had a lot of people out the last few weeks).

It's so bad that I'm maxed out on Mogu Runes, and I didn't even turn in Lesser Charms last week (or this).

Most people want the wealth produced by a society with limited government distributed to them more generously by bigger government.

raiding is done this week for horde guild, got mageara down with our last pull of the night, but due to sat being canceled no chance at repeating ji-kun and working on durumu

Doing my rounds of raid bosses for mount drops, I popped into Dalaran, checked the Wintergrasp map and it was blue. So I flew over to the portal, which only appears when Alliance are in control, and it ported me to the fortress. At which point the cross-server thing kicked in, the zone switched to Horde, and every guard in the courtyard instantly aggroed.

Frustration 1: I need a new phone, my old one is dying (HTC Desire). Touch screen is about to give up, and it's prone to overheating and random shutdowns.

Frustration 2: Part of me wants an iPhone just because there's soooo many fancy covers, and oh mah gawd is like transmogrification for phones! But the iPhone 5's specs are just shameful... Simply shameful. The business student in me can't justify buying a lesser phone just for the shiny covers.

Norwegian currency (seven moose and a polar bear) converted to American currency (three burgers and a gun) for your leisure:

HTC One: ca $300iPhone 5: ca $340Galaxy S4: ca $370

That's about the prices I'm going to have to pay. So the iPhone is about the same price range as the others, yet half the RAM and half the processing power. And I don't really care about camera or music capabilities.

Yeah, the galaxy is probably the best option for you, my coworker swears by his S3.

On the other hand, I've had nothing but trouble with android phones, that stop being supported by their manufacturer 6 months after release. Meanwhile, people that had older iphones would still get updates to their phones.
